Capo 1

C                                  F              C  
Well here I sit in this honky tonk feeling mighty low
C                                                           G
Hating to see that old clock on the wall saying its time to go
   C                                             F
So bring another drink bartender, troubles boy I got em
       F           C       F                       C          
And if I'm-a gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom


      F                                        C 
Cause I got the meanest old woman you ever did seen
                                G
And she don't go me staying out all night
         F                                         C
And when I come home in the morning banging on the screen
        C                                                     G     
You can bet your bottom dollar, there's gonna be a whale of a fight


  C                               F                   C 
I guess she might be pretty good, sometimes sweet and kind
    C                                                 G 
But she can't see past her nose when it comes to this jug of mine
         C                                                     F 
But when I get the heebie jeebies, this jug is the only way to stop them
      F           C       F                       C       
So if I'm-a gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom 

Steel solo


And I got the meanest old woman you ever did seen
And she don't go me staying out all night
And when I come home in the morning banging on the screen
You can bet your bottom dollar, there's gonna be a whale of a fight


I guess she might be pretty good, sometimes sweet and kind
But she can't see past her nose when it comes to this jug of mine
But when I get the heebie jeebies, this jug is the only way to stop them
And if I'm-a gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom 

Yeah if I'm-a gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom
